The Wa­ter and Sew­er­age Au­thor­i­ty (WASA) has an­nounced plans to build a new de­sali­na­tion plant to serve the Moru­ga/Table­land con­stituen­cy.

In a re­lease, WASA said Act­ing CEO Jee­van Joseph made the an­nounce­ment dur­ing a plant and com­mu­ni­ty tour on Sat­ur­day, ac­com­pa­nied by Min­is­ter of Cul­ture and Com­mu­ni­ty De­vel­op­ment and Moru­ga/Table­land MP Michelle Ben­jamin, as well as WASA of­fi­cials.

The plant, which will have a ca­pac­i­ty of six mil­lion gal­lons per day, forms part of a na­tion­al ini­tia­tive to strength­en wa­ter sup­ply for farm­ing and fish­ing com­mu­ni­ties.
